I am completely random today, why? Well I think we can be fairly sure we didn’t make a baby this month. I am reserving full judgement (and that beer that’s eyeing me over there) until tomorrow, but I’m 90% right. *sigh* We do want another child. Yes, we are 95% …
For me anyway. I remember staying up late and watching this. I was amazed–I’d never heard anything like this. In my small town you got southern fried rock, country, some horrid metal thing, folk or classical. I’m sure there were other things going on, but that’s all I heard in …
There is another (new)fashion rehash. The slouch boot. I was in high school when this became a new wave fashion deal in the 80s. I didn’t make too much money either working at Bob’s big boy as a hostess (I was a horrible waitress) or Red Lobster (same deal, and …
I’m not sure what the problem is with this doctors office or doc’s offices in general out here but every time I call, no matter how pleasant and polite I am, I get Nurse crappypants or Admin crankysnout on the phone. If you don’t like kids or their parents why …
Someone I’ve been friends with since 1988, but for whatever reasons (I’m not sure what they are) fell out of my life several months ago (busy? paths diverging in too great a manner? The fact that we now live thousands of miles away from each other ). I got some …
The Bean is feeling sick today. Perhaps the big stay up late party (we let her have a late night every few months, this month she got two–Halloween and our friend’s birthday party –lots of her friends and screaming around) so I don’t have a lot of time –she needs …
In the Bean’s preschool, when they were discussing Farms (it is F week in school) the teacher asked what happened on farms and where food came from. There were the predictable answers like chocolate milk from chocolate cows and the correct ones like you grow food on farms. Then the …
I’d like to say I hate November. But I don’t. November is a beautiful time. Right after Halloween, oh the best day of the year. It’s fall. Too many leaves but tending towards crisp (when it isn’t in the 80s thanks to global warming, hey did you think I’d entirely …
I just realized I do politics like other people do sports. I’ve been watching different versions of the same press conferences and speeches. Flipping channels like a crazed hog fan. I’m all over the web reading various interpretations and predictions and staying up too late increasing the information overload. I …
This from a reuters story on the elections: “But it also gets us to a point: Democrats have spent a lot of time complaining about what the president has done. This is an opportunity for them to kind of stand up,” Snow said. Way to extend that bipartisan handshake assholes. …
Just can’t turn on the election news. I’ve always been interested in politics and knew they were significant, but I haven’t been scared before. I was angry with Reagan and bothered with Bush senior. Now I’m angry and scared. When does it get scary? I guess when you figure out …
And if you are a republican vote often. I just lost a much better entry, but I’m too tired to try and recreate it. I have no idea what happened, all of a sudden my (new) laptop screen went blank. I did a hard reboot and it was fine. But …
Just a bit hard to sit down and make sure I get today’s entry out. I am finding that I like knowing I *have* to write something, it helps when the energy is flagging. And it is. I’ve had a bit too much hidden MSG this last week, that rather …
I wonder if you are ever completely sure about having a child. There was ambivalence on both our parts with the first pregnancy, but we were 90% sure. And so we decided. Then quicker than a 16 year old in the back of a camero after her first three beers …
I’m scared, really scared about politics again, for the first time since well, last week. I’ve been scared since the Shrub stole the first election. And the truth is coming out about that, but the predominantly conservative mainstream media (it has been disgusting how the media has rolled over for …
Much too fast.Baby wizard Purple Princess Kitty Dark Princess–please to be noting this is the same outfit as her very first Halloween 🙂 And this year, Princess Jasmine
